Networks

As research and education networks continue to expand, securing institutional resources has become more critical than ever. Universities and research organizations now operate diverse digital environments supporting administrative services, student access, learning platforms, laboratories, data centers, IoT devices, and security systems. Without proper segmentation and traffic control, these environments can quickly become vulnerable to misuse, […]

The battlefield of modern network security is ever-shifting, a relentless contest between defenders and those who seek to exploit the network’s weakest links. Among the most deceptive of these threats lies IP spoofing, a technique that cloaks malicious actors behind fabricated identities. Picture this: a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) storm begins to swell. Attackers

Border Gateway Protocol, the backbone of global Internet routing, was never designed with security in mind. As a result, BGP hijacks and route leaks pose significant threats to Internet stability and security. Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) addresses these risks by providing a cryptographic framework to validate the origin of BGP route advertisements. This blog

Routing lies at the heart of every network determining how packets find their path from one network to another. While dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or BGP automatically exchange routing information, static routing offers simplicity, control, and predictability, making it ideal for smaller networks and testing environments. In this blog, we’ll explore static routing

Introduction SmokePing is a powerful and flexible open-source tool designed for monitoring latency, jitter, and packet loss across network paths. One of its most impactful use cases is tracking provider-level paths, especially valuable for organizations with multi-homed connections that demand high availability and performance insight. In this blog, we will guide you through the process

Network downtime can feel like chaos especially when your Juniper SRX switch suddenly refuses to boot or respond. Maybe it’s stuck in a reboot loop, showing cryptic console messages, or simply sitting there with a blank status light. When that happens, panic is easy, but it’s rarely necessary. The good news? Most SRX “dead” states

IPv6, the next-generation Internet Protocol, is designed to replace IPv4 due to its larger address space and improved features. Configuring IPv6 on a network can seem daunting, but understanding the basics can help you set up a reliable and efficient IPv6 environment. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the essentials of configuring basic IPv6

Imagine your internet connection is like a busy highway with cars, trucks, bikes, and pedestrians all moving in different directions.

National Research and Education Networks [NRENs] are expected to connect all R&E [Research & Education] community sites and institutions regardless of physical location or infrastructure presence. This expectation necessitates that the NREN think outside the box to create new and unconventional last-mile solutions. One innovative approach involves boosting the LTE (Long-Term Evolution) connectivity in regions
